Accounting software for a General contractor
A general contractor delivers the entire construction project on behalf of the owner or the developer, coordinating subcontractors and the steel, plumbing and electrical crews while supervising the site daily and holding the schedule. It typically runs several sites at once, and is paid against the actual percentage of work completed on each project.

How a General contractor runs on Artos
The cycle starts when a project is awarded and registered in Project Management with a clear timeline and defined execution phases, then tracks completion percentage as it happens and ties every labor and material cost back to that same project. Progress claims and invoices are issued directly against the project number, so every payment received lands on that project's financial accounts as soon as it is recorded.
Sites Run as Projects
Project Management tracks each site as an independent project with its own timeline and budget, monitoring completion percentage at every phase of the work.
Progress Billing by Project
Progress payment invoices are issued against the project number, so each payment falls due when an agreed completion percentage is signed off with the client.
Client and Contract Accounts
Customer accounts show each contracting party's balance along with deductions and retention held, following every receivable through to full settlement.
Cost Against Contract Value
The financial ledger posts every execution cost entry against the revenue recognized on each project, showing the contractor's real profitability as it develops.
